To be fair, the Knicks have sucked for so long now that anyone who became a fan during that era could be understood for deciding to pick Brooklyn.

It's fairweather fandom yeah but the Knicks have done almost nothing for 10 years to inspire any loyalty from the fans.

i cant see how you can just switch though. i mean im a ranger fan as well and theyve stunk up the nhl for years, but its a sense of pride i get for stickin with them when they were bad, same with bball.

Anyone who was Knick fan and thought since we had a bad stretch they should start fresh with Brooklyn is disloyal and corny, the whole Brooklyn Net movement is trash, their little ****ty chant their ****ty colors and uniforms and corny ass ownership

I still can't believe there's people who defected. I mean I get it, the Knicks sucked for 10 years, but that pain makes watching their success far more enjoyable. When the Knicks eventually win, the magnitude of the party will just be huge!

What's interesting is I've got several friends from Jersey who are now Knicks fans, so I think Brooklyn lost out a bit with the move, especially now with the Knicks rocking it this season.

Maybe a lot of them are dormant Nets fans who finally came out because they have something to be exciting about. Same thing happened with the Knicks, a lot of people weren't watching before two years ago for a long time.

You could say the same thing about OKC to be fair. Where did all their fans come from? They've been a team for like half a minute and they have fans all over the country

The Nets are falling back down to earth it seems. I really feel that if they some how miss the playoffs this year their bandwagon will get a lot smaller. Give the Nets a couple of underperforming seasons and they will be playing in an empty Barclays Center. It was bad enough that the Knicks took sort of a backseat to them during their playoff run in the early 00's but for the Knicks to have to share the spotlight with them now is difficult to stomach.
